Looks like a later cast block with the press in freeze plugs. Also looks stroked to at least 454 with the extra balancing weight added to the crank flange.

It has a 'hank the crank' in it if that means anything on the external weights, I thought it was a 427 stroke crank, either way its ok, I get the paperwork on the rebuild when it gets here. It also has some type of head bolt that goes deeper into the block. A lot of money was spent on the heads too. It was never fired. 11:1.
